bConsider a manufacturing process depicted by the following flowchart.
flowchart
Station A has 3 parallel operators, A1, A2, and A3. Station C has 2 parallel operators, C1 and C2. Each unit only needs to be processed by one of the operators A1, A2 and A3. After being processed at Station B (with a single operator), a unit then needs to be processed by either C1 or C2. The process time of the individual operators are given as follows.
A1, A2, and A3: 21 minutes
B: 14 minutes
C1 and C2: 2 minutes.
The process initiates the production of a new unit every 28 minutes. What is the labor productivity (in units/hour) of this process?
Note: 1. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places if it is not a whole number.
2. Operators are paid even if they are idle.
